This is the Anliker McLaren SLR 999 Red Gold Dream. It started as a Mercedes SLR McLaren , but apparently after you do so much gaudy shit to something you get to rename it. You and I will now refer to it as the USS Boobooprise. It was created under the watchful retarded eye of Swiss entrepreneur Ueli Anliker, who clearly has no concept of class, or fear of being blinded while driving. The garish body has 25 layers of red paint with 5kg of gold dust worked into it. Each of the car’s wheels are covered in 24 carat gold as are the headlights and door sills And the car’s supercharged 5.4-litre engine has had power boosted from 640bhp to 999bhp - giving it a top speed of more than 210mph. Inside, there are jewelled indicators, a gold-trimmed interior and steering wheel and ruby-covered switchgear. In total there are more than 600 rubies within the car’s interior, which would have cost around 300,000 [~$470K] before the staggering overhaul. Mr Anliker is now selling the Mercedes with a ‘minimum’ price-tag of 7 million [~$11-million] - making it the world’s most expensive vehicle for sale on the open market. *spitting Carnation Instant Breakfast* $11-million?! WHAT THE F*** IS WRONG WITH YOU?! How anyone who’s clearly such a piss-poor decision maker has been able to make money in this world is blowing my mind right now. I mean, sure, maybe I have a pair of panties hanging from my rearview, but come on, that’s classy . “And the skull gearshift knob?” The shrunken head of an enemy. Hit the jump for a bunch more of the WTFery plus a video.

When LEGOLand California General Manager Peter Rochetti came out to the parking lot to leave work for the day he found out his Volvo SUV had been replaced with a nonfunctional LEGO version. “Oh you guys! Are you guys messing with me again?! Because if I find out you actually sold my car and replaced it with a LEGO one I WILL F***ING FIRE YOU ALL AND BURN YOUR HOUSES TO ASH!!!! I think he had cocktails at lunch. The blue beauty was made of 201,760 pieces of lego and weighed 2,934 pounds, reports the LA Times. I love how he tries the door handle. Peter, please tell me you just wanted to see if there was an interior and not because you thought it was a real car. Because, I’m not gonna lie, that would be a bad sign for a guy running a multi-million dollar business. Also, “Don’t bother coming to work tomorrow.” Hit the jump for the short video.

This is a print ad for the new Volkswagen Fox touting an all new, redesigned interior (then why is there still a steering wheel ?!). Unfortunately, it looks like they put it on the wrong side. You gonna be sittin’ on a tire with a windshield wiper for a seatbelt! Inside Out Car [gizmodo] Thanks to Jose, who doesn’t drive a car, he drives women wild . Yeah you do!

Remember the Terrafugia Transition ? The $194K street-legal car that can turn into a plane ? Well it just got Federal Aviation Administration approval for use in the US. Whee! People will be flying into shit before you know it. The Transition was designed as a “light sport” aircraft, the smallest kind of private aeroplane under FAA classification, with a maximum weight of 1,320lb. But the manufacturers found it impossible to fit the safety features - airbags, crumple zones and roll cage, for instance - that are required for road vehicles into that weight. Uniquely, however, the FAA has granted the Transition an exemption - allowing it to be classified as a light sport aircraft despite being 120lb over the limit. Light sport aircraft licences require just 20 hours’ flying time, making them much easier to obtain than full private licences. No airbags, crumple zone or roll cage and it only takes 20 flying hours to get your license — what would possibly go wrong? A : You buzz my house and I shoot you down with a rocket launcher. Hit the jump for several more shots of the Transformer, including one with a t-rex (seriously).

This Wi-Fi detecting car decal tips tailgaters off to available wireless connections . It was made by cutting the illuminated panel out of one of these shirts and sticking it to the car’s window. Which you’ve got to admit: for such a hardcore Apple fanboy (see license plate) is a pretty impressive feat of do-it-yourselfery. Provided, of course, he didn’t stab himself with the scissors. You forgot to take the shirt off first, didn’t you? *Nyuk nyuk nyuk!* Hit the jump for a closeup.

Brando’s Auto Domino Building Truck is a battery-powered toy truck that shits bricks — that is, it poops out dominos standing on end at the correct intervals to make a domino run. Or so the manufacturer says — I haven’t tried it yet. But I have a vision of setting this thing down at one end of an airport concourse and creating a mile-long run. I love that the dominos load in via a magazine that sticks out of the top like a banana-clip on an automatic rifle. The Auto Domino Building Truck ( via Red Ferret )

Some poor bastard, fed up with his car being broken into , decided to leave this passive aggressive note for the thieves. And not only does he reference Half-Life , THE DUDE KEEPS AN OCARINA IN HIS CAR. ZOMG, do you think he’s Link?! Me neither. Also, to guy’s credit, I added the asterisk to his signature. DUDE MEANS BUSINESS. Picture Thanks to gabby, who would have booby trapped the car with Goron bombs.

The $200,000 WaterCar is the lovechild of a Corvette that fell in love with a cigarette boat. But, like having sex with a mermaid , everyone will tell you it was just a manatee. Get a Corvette engine, rig it up with a Dominator Jet drive, and then strap it into a floating car, and you get the WaterCar Python, the fastest and highest-performing amphibious vehicle in the world. If zipping over the water at a top speed of 60mph doesn’t float your boat, it’ll accelerate on land at a neck-snapping 0-to-60 speed of a mere 4.5 seconds. Call me old fashioned, but I like all my vehicles single-purpose. If it drives on the road, I don’t want it in the ocean or sky. I mean, that’s just more stuff to go wrong. And wrong, my friends, is the opposite of right. And two Wrights made an airplane. ZING! Thanks for that one, dad. Hit the jump for several more shots and a video of the thing in action (worthwhile stuff starts at 0:50).

This is a conceptual solar powered BMW . It may look like a fish , but it’s not, it’s a car , silly! Well, not a real car, cause it’s only a concept . Like me. I ONLY EXIST YOUR INTERNET! Created by 24-yo German designer Anne Forschner, the Lovos stands fo Lifestyle of Voluntary Simplicity. Each of those scales–which are replaceable and turn constantly to align with the sun–is covered with solar cells. Now I’m no aerodynamicist, but that shit looks like it’ll slow you down. AND I CAN’T DRIVE 55, know what I’m saying? It’s against my law! The Geekologie law of awesome. Which, honestly, makes gravity look like a little bitch. Hit the jump for a bunch more shots of the craziness.

Frightening: Conceptual Solar Powered BMW

Allegedly some Dutch guy’s iPhone spontaneously combusted in his passenger seat when he stepped away from his vehicle to fix a windmill and make a pair of wooden shoes. Per the translation: Pieter from Leiden had this afternoon, unfortunately the Dutch premiere of his iPhone 3G spontaneously started burning. His iPhone 3G was on the passenger’s seat in standby mode and not the charger. By returning to his car came thick black smoke through the door to the outside and the cause was his iPhone 3G in spontaneously fire was flown. Besides a total devastated iPhone 3G Pieter has also considerable damage to his car. Pieter has direct contact with Apple Netherlands and T-mobile but n och Apple or T-mobile still take some responsibility. Hey, weirder things have happened. I can’t think of any right now but I’m sure they have. Well, there was this one time I parked my car, opened the door, and there was a $10 SITTING RIGHT THERE. Explain that one without aliens. Exactly, you can’t. Hit the jump for two more shots of the damage.
